The Oakland Raiders will give Trent Richardson his third chance to make it in the NFL, as the team announced his signing Tuesday. Terms were not disclosed, but the former Alabama star running back will compete with Latavius Murray to be the Raiders' starting running back. (ESPN)

FFToday's Take:Richardson will battle for playing time with Murray and newly signed Roy Helu. It would be a shock if Richardson is anything more than a backup for Murray with Helu filling the third-down pass-catching role. For what it's worth Richardson is just 24 years old but sports a 3.3 yards per carry average for his career.

The Washington Redskins have hired former Dallas Cowboys offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Bill Callahan, according to league sources. Callahan's title is offensive line coach. He received a lucrative three-year contract, the sources said.
Callahan had offers from teams as both an offensive coordinator and offensive line coach before deciding to join the Redskins.

FFToday's Take:With HC Jay Gruden calling plays in Washington, there is no chance that Callahan will take that role on in his new job this season. What he should do, however, is boost the Redskins' inconsistent ground game. Alfred Morris is locked in as the early-down back while Silas Redd and Chris Thompson will likely vie for passing-down work with Roy Helu almost certain to leave via free agency.
